One more train-car collision that killed three people; including a 2-year-old, a 12-year-old and a 17-year-old in Macomb, Mississippi. The children were two boys and a mother young woman was killed. She was 17. The young man, another 17-year-old was in critical condition and taken to the hospital. The train was heading to Chicago from New Orleans. The car and train collided even though witnesses identified the sound of the train’s horn blowing as it approached. Apparently the car didn’t stop. No more detals were reported.

Distracted driving kills more people than you can imagine.

It will be interesting to see if investigation gets to the bottom of what happened.
